About Bandhavgarh National Park

The royalty of India has frequented this national park, and there is a reason for it.

Known as the hub for Royal Bengal tigers, Bandhavgarh National Park is considered one of the best locations for tiger photography. The national park consists of mixed vegetation ranging from tall grasslands and bamboo to thick Sal forests making it the perfect habitat for a variety of animals and birds. Due to its varied topography, Bandhavgarh national park provides ample opportunity to spot the majestic Indian tiger and some rarely seen animals like leopards and sloth bears.

Areas like Ghoda Demon and the upper lying areas in Tala receive divine light early in the morning and evening and it is a dream to see and shoot a tiger in that scenario. The water bodies of the park are a perfect playground for tiger cubs in the warm summer months and some of the best action images of tigers have been taken in these waters.

To help us maximise our time in the National Park and minimise the crowds of other vehicles this tour will include 2 full day permits where we are permitted entry in to the park 15 minutes early and we can exit 15 minutes later. Our access is also zone free so we are not restricted to any particular zone and we can go any where. The advantage of full day permits is that when everyone else leaves in the morning we practically have the park to ourselves which is incredibly helpful when looking to capture particular images of the tigers.
